31 Days of Decorations: Day 19 1975 Badgley

We aren't really sure where this came from. Badgley is Mom's maiden name, but in 1975, that name had been long taken over by Dad's surname. So Mom doesn't remember this ornament, but it's been on my tree as an adult from our first Christmas. My best guess is that my step-grandmother, known for her particularly bad gift-giving skills (a blog topic for another day), had these made of HER married surname and gave away for gifts. Perhaps there was a deal for getting the same surname on all? Or maybe she just didn't care to remember everyone's different names? Regardless, I actually like this one.
